Prior to the declaration of correct weight a protest was lodged by Apprentice M Kennedy the rider of 3rd place getter DIRTY RASCAL alleging interference approaching the 250m from the 2nd place getter ACCUMULATED. After reviewing race footage and considering the evidence from the connections, stewards found that whilst DIRTY RASCAL was inconvenienced at that point of the race as a result of ACCUMULATED shifting out. Stewards could not be satisfied that this interference was sufficient to reverse the placings given the margins of 1 ¼  lengths at the finish of the event. Therefore the protest was dismissed and correct weight given
